[OPEN Mingle] If music be the food of love…

[robintohood]

Who: Mingle post! Jason Todd (DCAU version) robintohood is also available in a separate top-level comment
What: Valentine’s Day season at the Descendant Karaoke Bar and Lounge
When: 2/1 to 2/13, before the February game event
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: None for now. Will update if needed.

[It’s early February and even a place as gritty and tough as Central City isn’t immune to the Valentine’s Day mood.

If one visits the Descendant around this time of the year, one may notice that some of the Gritty the mascot figures are holding fake roses and Cupid bows and arrows. Don’t worry. They’re safe. Really.

In addition, there are two types of songs getting a ton of play. On one side you got romantic and sweet songs such as Truly, Madly, Deeply, My Heart Will Go On, and As Long As You Love Me. On the other side is quite the opposite. These songs about heartbreak. A lot of them also are blow-out torch songs. Classic hits such as You Give Love A Bad Name, I’m Still Standing, and Should I Stay or Should I Go are getting performed with at least as much enthusiasm as the love songs, if not more. Even mobsters sometimes have rough love lives and need to blow off steam.

So whatever your feelings are about Valentine’s Day this year, come drop by for a drink, some entertainment and maybe a bar game or two. Chances are, you’ll be in decent company. Besides, what else could possibly happen in Central City this month?]

((OOC: Mingle post before this month’s big event! Have fun. Jason’s own top-level is right here. My contact information is on this journal's profile and I'm in the game's Discord server. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns as well. I also have a feedback post.))

[That does get a faint smile from him at least. He appreciates that.]

Thanks, Jason.

[robintohood]

Anytime. Somebody’s gotta keep ordering Shirley Temples.

[purplexing]

Shirley I can't be the only one ordering those.

[robintohood]

[Jason snorts. As a Robin, he can’t resist a pun]

Nope. Got me there.

[purplexing]

[ He grins at that. Puns usually aren't his thing but it was begging to be said and if anyone told Leo then Donnie would deny it to his grave. But Leo's not here and Jason's helped make Donnie feel a little better.]

Although now that you've mentioned it I could probably go for one now.

[robintohood]

Sure thing.

[Jason pokes his head through the doorway and tells a passing server in the hallway to bring over a Shirley Temple for a customer]

[purplexing]

[Sweet, he doesn't have to go anywhere. Donnie makes himself more comfortable so he can actually try reading this book.]

[The server heads to the bar and Jason is back in the reading room, perusing the shelves to see what’s currently in the collection. It’s always changing, especially after a new donation batch arrives]
